TTC Sept 2023

Thank you so much 😭❤️ this is my fourth and last baby so I cried so bad when that came up ahah 🥹❤️

@ShivWesker I had a feeling!! Like I said, never had an evap on an easy@home!! Congrats hun!

Thought I'd update! Bfp 11DPO 🥰🥰

@ceruleansky thank you!

Good luck to everyone still waiting for BFP ✨🤞🏽

@pontipinemum
I just started to use Fertility Friend and will upload my photos onto the app of the OPKs.
I have been the same last 2 months it stays faint and only is dark like the control / darker for 2days and then back to faint. Not seen a slow increase 😂
I usually start in CD11. Last month I had my peak on CD20 so might be a while.

@MixedCouple 10 days!!! Oh my.. that must have been annoying..
I see, I hate the fact that they can't give us any reasoning or advice us how to avoid it in future. They're so casual and matter- of- fact about everything!
I'm glad you're feeling better and waiting to test and not stressing yourself out.
I'm trying to do the same. At this point I'm not looking up anything I'm just listening to other people's stories and being positive for everyone.

@ReginaPhalange12
The dreaded AF:/
I read that if the period comes at night it doesn't count as day1.. the next day is day 1.

I've started spotting so I'm definitely out this month 😔 do I log AF starting today or as it's only a little bit would I put it as tomorrow if it starts properly through the night?

@MixedCouple do you use the app as well or just keep a file of the tests?

I am just entering my 'fertile window' I've been doing OPKs every day since my period finished, LH level is still very low but it was like that when I conceived DS it was low until my peak. So hopefully I have a peak this week!

DS is now 14 months, it took 4 years to have him so hopefully won't be as long this time

@ShivWesker I think I had a similar shadowy line at 10dpo. Let us know how you get on! 🤞🤞 also just FYI, not sure if it is the same for everyone but my SMU came out so much darker then my FMU!! So try both! (Fully aware I am a crazy person when it comes to testing - had a chemical previously)

10dpo 🥰🤞

@ShivWesker 🤞🤞 everything crossed for a darker line tomorrow, what dpo are you?

Gonna try and get a FRER tomorrow but Asda by me hasn't had them in for a while and Amazon won't be here until next week 🥲

Your progression lines are beautiful btw! ❤️ thank you for sharing them ❤️

The Fertility Dr I spoke to said to use the OPK strips as your can see peogreasion in the line and you can add them to a binder and see the change and compare over the days. Ahe also said ot can be helpful too teat twice a day once the line starts to get darker as the change in LH can happen within hours. Might be worth a go for those using Digitals.

@ceruleansky thank you. I am starting to feel better and now my period finoshed wopping 10days long. I feel a bit more like myself. No they won't investigate this kinda thing. They say it is so common and that's why we shouldn't test before AF. Every Dr I have ever spoken to say now testing before 14DPO or day of missed period.

Yeah it is so hard with symptoms. So I am ignoring it all this month and not testing at all. I have had every pregnancy symptom as PMS.

@123456789sw Hiya saw your comment and wanted to say I’ve been in a similar situation I’m 37 trying for number 3, I was using OPK’s for a few months and never got a peak reading in those months and I suspect I didn’t ovulate. I Switched to cb digital and I have never had a flashing smiley just days of blank circles and then straight to static 🤦🏼‍♀️ so not sure if I have no extrovert surge or my hormones are just all out of sync.
Were you on any contraceptive before starting to ttc?
I had the coil and it has taken my body some adjusting after removal this time, I finally had a very very definite peak on an OPK this month but it was an extremely long cycle with then only an 11 day luteal phase so I still don’t know if I ovulated?!

@ShivWesker I see it in the 2nd pic!! From my experience, easy@home have never given me an evap for the 14 months I hve been using them! I find them pretty trustworthy compared to other test, coukd you buy a FRER? I had a faint positive on a frer at 9dpo and my easy@home showed up super faint at 10dpo so I imagine if it is positive it’d show on a FRER. Test again tomorrow and everything crossed! Heres mine from 11dpo (bearing in mind tests have dried out) I had a super faint shadow at 10dpo but a decent faint line in FRER.

Did another one (🤦‍♀️😂) and the faint line came up within three minutes and it's pinkish!

I haven't tested as I'm trying to be good and not waste money on tests.

AF is due Sunday so another three days to wait!

@ShivWesker took me a couple of seconds, but I do see it! 🤞🏻

I can't tell as it's so faint :( I hope so!

@ShivWesker I can see something in the new photo. Is it a pink line? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Lushfanatic123 it could be. Have you tested? When is AF due?

So that 'spotting' only lasted two days and I was roughly 10/11/12 dpo as I think I ovulated on 8th/9th.

Do we think it might have been implantation bleeding or would it be too late?

Can someone recommend a coq10 vitamin there are so many different things thank you

Better photo perhaps? Im hoping and praying that it's not another evap. Came up within the test window like the last one. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@ShivWesker 😃 thank you. I think if I really squint I can see a hint of a shadow. I was doing the same thing with my easy@home earlier 😂

@MixedCouple that sounds lovely & will hopefully help. I'm away for a few days next week so hoping I'll relax and go into a new cycle with a positive mindset
